As many of you know I've been away from the form much more than I've been on lately. Most of you also know that I've been a dual user. Unfortunately vaping (I know it's mainly me) hasn't helped me kick the habit of cigarettes.
Most of you know that I've recently sold off most of my collection to redirect funds to other hobbies. Only kept the 5 devices I enjoy the most. I've lost interest in the hobby of vaping. It kind of got ridiculous. I also had to examine how much I was spending. Everything was getting more, and more expensive. And for what? They all do the same thing. That $300 mod/RDA setup didn't do anything more or better than the $40 mod/RDA. I was also feeling that I was always trying to keep up with the latest greatest, even though it wasn't a conscious effort.
Since the virus BS I've started smoking way more than vaping. I've been getting more and more depressed over it and as a result started smoking way more. Got back up to almost 3 packs a day.
Over this past weekend we went to our property in the country to get away for a long weekend. I had to make a run into town (about 20ish miles) and for some reason I decided to stop into one of the 2 vape shops in town. I'd been in there before and knew they carried anything I'd remotely be interested in. After taking with the shop owner for a little while I ended up buying a pod device. I had a voopoo Vinci X in the truck but really didn't like it much. It's too large and heavy for what it is.
I let it charge up while I went into the store to get the supplies I'd gone to town for in the first place. I didn't smoke a single cigarette the whole drive back to the property. It's usually at least 3 for that drive. We drove home on Monday. I had 1 cigarette on the drive home of 2 1/2 hours. It's usually half to a full pack on that drive. Since being home I've had about a pack. I'm enjoying vaping again. No changing cotton. No batteries to charge (well one). I'm still using my DIY juice although I've upped the nic to 6 mg from 3 mg and changed the vg/pg ratio.
So here I am pretty much back where my vaping journey began. For the last 5 days I've been vaping on a Smok Nord 2 with .4 mesh factory coils at 18w and I'm enjoying it like I haven't in a long time. I can't believe that a product from a company I swore I'd never have again has renewed my interest and has allowed me to win a few battles. The war is not over.
Thanks for reading my late night ramblings. I do miss the VU members. Some of whom I've become quite fond.
